About the Company

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world's best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes. 2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We've scaled to 200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler. We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law. Joining Legora means three things. - We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions. - We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback. - We grow together: as a team and with our customers. Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you're driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

About the Role

Let's get the tricky part out of the way. Legal Engineering does not fit neatly into a traditional box. It combines legal practice, product fluency, client leadership and practical change management. The job exists because software alone does not change how legal work gets done. Someone has to understand the work well enough to redesign it, and be credible enough that lawyers listen. As a Legal Engineer in Dubai, you sit between the lawyers using Legora and the people building it. You will work with law firms and in-house legal teams across the Middle East: running pilots, leading onboarding and rollouts, designing the workflows that make the platform genuinely useful for a specific team, and teaching people to use it well. When something does not work, you find out why and either fix it with the client or get it in front of Product with enough evidence to act on. This is a client-facing craft role, not an account-management role. The measure of your work is whether real lawyers do real work differently because of what you built and taught. The Middle East is its own market. The enterprise opportunity spans international firms, leading regional firms and in-house teams at large corporates and sovereign-linked entities. The legal landscape covers federal law, emirate-level systems and the common-law free zones of DIFC and ADGM. Arabic-language work and a credible answer on data protection and hosting are part of the job here, not an edge case. Dubai is an early team. You w

Responsibilities

  • ● Have a legal qualification and real experience of substantive legal work, either at a law firm or in an in-house legal function. The jurisdiction of qualification matters less than your credibility with senior legal stakeholders in this region.
  • ● Are genuinely curious about generative AI and product. You do not need to be a software engineer, but you do need to enjoy technical conversations and learn new tools quickly and properly.
  • ● Can explain technical ideas to lawyers and legal realities to technical people, in writing and in person.
  • ● Bring structure to your own work. You plan, name owners and dependencies, meet deadlines and flag problems early rather than late.
  • ● Are comfortable with an early-stage environment where the playbook is still being written and priorities move.
  • ● Care about the client's outcome more than the demo going well.
  • ● Communicate fluently in English. Arabic is strongly preferred and materially useful in this market.
  • ● Are based in Dubai and able to work from the office five days per week, with some travel across the region.
  • ● A FEW MORE THINGS
  • ● Dubai is a build. You will not inherit a finished local system. You will inherit real customer proof in the region, partnerships worth building on, and the useful mess that comes with early scale.
  • ● If that sounds exciting rather than terrifying, we would like to hear from you.
  • ● Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer
  • ● At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work. We welcome people of all backgrounds and don't discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
